A new perspective on metals and other contaminants in fluoridation chemicals

April-June 2014 | International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health | Mullenix PJ. | 20(2):157-166.

Background: Fluoride additives contain metal contaminants that must be diluted to meet drinking water regulations. However, each raw additive batch supplied to water facilities does not come labeled with concentrations per contaminant. This omission distorts exposure profiles and the risks associated with accidents and routine use. Objectives: This study provides an independent determination of the metal content of raw fluoride products. Methods: Me

Impact of aesthetic restorative treatment on anterior teeth with fluorosis among residents of an endemic area in Brazil: intervention study

May 13, 2014 | BMC Oral Health. | Santa-Rosa TT, Ferreira RC, Drummond AM, De Magalhães CS, Vargas AM, Ferreira EF. | 14:52. doi: 10.1186/1472-6831-14-52.

Dental caries and endemic dental fluorosis in rural communities, Minas Gerais, Brazil

December 2013 | Revista Brasileira de Epidemiologia | Costa de M, Abreu MH, Vargas AM, Vasconcelos M, Ferreira E, Castilho LS. | 16(4):1021-28.

Evaluation of dental fluorosis in relation to DMFT rates in a fluorotic rural area of Turkey

April-June 2014 | Fluoride | Kececi AD, Kaya BU, Guldas E, Saritekin E, Sener E. | 47(2):119-32.

In general, there was a positive correlation between DMFT values and TFI scores similar to the findings of Wondwossen et al., who indicated that this was true for both moderate (0.3–2.2 mg/L) and high (8.9–14.1 mg/L) fluoride levels.
